## About the role

Build and own an AI-powered ingestion & normalization pipeline to import data from a wide variety of sources — unprocessed Excel/CSV uploads, lab and instrument exports, as well as processed data from internal pipelines. Develop robust schema mapping, coercion, and conversion logic (think: units normalization, metadata standardization, variable-name harmonization, vendor-instrument quirks, plate-reader formats, reference-genome or annotation updates, batch-effect correction, etc.).

## What they're looking for

- Must-have
- 5+ years of experience in data engineering / data wrangling with real-world tabular or semi-structured data
- Strong fluency in Python, and data processing tools (Pandas, Polars, PyArrow, or similar)
- Excellent experience dealing with messy Excel / CSV / spreadsheet-style data — inconsistent headers, multiple sheets, mixed formats, free-text fields — and normalizing it into clean structures
- Comfort designing and maintaining robust ETL/ELT pipelines, ideally for scientific or lab-derived data
- Ability to combine classical data engineering with LLM-powered data normalization / metadata extraction / cleaning
